🖤 MINE🖤

Shiv's pov

"Ji maa m mndir hi ja raha hu."  I said .

"Beta mujhe to bohot ghabraht ho rhi h..tu.." My mother said.

I cutted her by saying "Maa aap yu hi tension le rhi h , vo bs ek spna tha"

I hugged her and kissed on her forehead.

"Don't worry too much, Maa. Nothing will happen to me."

She was tensed because she dreamed about me getting injured and now she told me to visit temple for my safety .

I chuckled at her. And headed towards my car.

My favourite one.

G-wagon. Black in colour.

I opened the door and sat inside, driving to the temple.

I called my secratary, Aarav.

"Hello...what happened with that deal?

No we have to get it done as soon as possible. I won't tolerate any excuses"

"Yes, Sir " he replied.

And I hang up the phone , focussing on driving.

I parked the car as I reached the temple .

Just as I entered the temple , I saw ....

"A goddess"

A goddess in white kurti with a dupatta on her head.

Closed eyes. Hands joined infront of the mighty.

Air was playing with her hair strands.

Lips...rose petals, moving in silent prayer.

Even I don't know, for how long I have been looking at her when suddenly....she looked at me.

And My heart stopped beating.

I was not even able to memorize those beautiful eyes.

She averted her gaze quickly, which made my heart flutter.

I don't know what it is.

But I couldn't stop looking at her. Memorizing her every feature.

she touched feet of pandit ji and started to walk.

I followed her like she is pulling me towards her with an invisible thread.

She took the holy thread and started tieing it on the wall , I kept looking... staring at her through the holes on the temple wall. Hoping to get a chance to see in those beautiful eyes again.

And I did.

She looked up at me.

And I literally died.

She pulled my soul and then it... returned when she quickly lowered her gaze and walked towards the exit.

The holy thread which she was tieing fell on the ground.

I picked it up but my eyes never left her. She turned back and took my soul along with her .

"I want her"

"I need her"I muttered to myself.

She disappeared in the crowd and I was left with the thread that tied us together for lifetime.

"She has to be mine now" I muttered while kissing the holy thread and put it in my pocket.

I stood there frozen for several minutes looking at the place where she disappeared.

When suddenly my phone rang.

I came back into my senses and picked it up.

It was Maa.

"Ji maa, I am okay. I am coming back." I said.

I looked at the photo of hers which I clicked while she was praying.

"Mine" I whispered softly.

I dialed a number.

"Hello...I am sending you a photo. Find out everything..every.single.thing about her." I ordered.

"Yes,Sir. I will give you the information till tomorr.." He replied.

"Tonight" I cutted him.

"O-Ok sir" he said and I hang the call.

I walked towards my car and drove to home while thoughts of her were dancing in my mind .

I reached home.

Maa came towards me and hugged me.

"Beta, tu thik h na?" She said in tense voice.

I cupped her face and said softly" Maa, I am ok. Aap tension mt lijiye aur apna dhyan rkhiye. Thik h ?"

She smiled at me and said " Thik h thik h lecture Mt de ab mujhe, chal khana kha le ab"

I chuckled and shaked my head a little, I said " ok madam ji"

After eating, I went to my room. My hands went in my pocket , I took out the holy thread and stared at it.

I kissed it and then..my phone rang.

"Hello sir, we got the information about the girl" he said.

A smile came on my face automatically when he mentioned 'Her'.

"Send me" I ordered and hang the phone without waiting for a reply.

I sat on the couch. A message popped.

And I felt a tickle in my heart.

I opened it .

"Devi ! " Her name rolled on my tounge like it's specially made for me to call.

"Devi Shiv Singh Rathore" I whispered and chuckled at myself.

I leaned back on the couch while reading more about her.

"Orphan?....not anymore" I muttered.

My jaw clenched as I read about her Bua.

My knuckles got pale while imagining 'her' getting tortured.

"You will regret...Bua ji" I said in a mocking tone.

"Anyways I will see you afterwards."

My anger vanished while reading about her .

Soft.

Fragile.

Kind.

Delicate.

Divine.

And....' MINE '

I stood up and went downstairs.

"Maa.." I called out from upstairs while coming down.

My mother and other family members who were still in the hall looked at me with curious faces.

"Maa , I want to marry" I announced making everyone shocked.

Everyone stared at me for minutes with widen eyes and parted lips.

" Beta, how?..I mean all of a sudden?" My father said in confusion.

"Are beta achha hua tune meri baat manli. I will contact Mr. Sharma right now that you had accepted their marriage proposal " My grandmother interrupted cheerfully.

My brows furrowed in irritation.

"Nhi dadi , I won't marry Mr.Sharma's daughter" I said . Irritation layered with my voice.

Her face fell in disappointment and she asked me in confusion "Then?"

"Yes Bhai then who?" Raj , my brother said.

" We will go with a marriage proposal to their house tommorow, you all will see there. Be ready at 10 AM. "

I announced making everyone shocked.

My mother came near me and said " Beta, atleast tell us her name"

"Devi" I whispered softly.

My mother smiled softly.

And I knew she already accepted her.

I went back in my room.

----Tommorow morning -----------

I adjusted my tie one last time looking at myself in the mirror. I run my hand through my hair making sure I look perfect.

" I am coming to make y

ou MINE".
